Summary: 
Six months prior to the start of the series, a mysterious ritual held on the day of the solar eclipse took place. Its purpose was to give birth to a group of magical creatures called Phantoms through humans with magical potential called "Gates", by forcibly subjecting them to immense despair. Haruto Soma and Koyomi, the survivors of the ritual, are tasked by the mysterious Shiroi Mahoutsukai to fight the Phantoms. Haruto is also given the Wizardriver to become Kamen Rider Wizard in order to prevent the Phantoms from transforming other Gates into Phantoms themselves. Later on, a man named Kosuke Nito appears as the ancient wizard Kamen Rider Beast to feed on the Phantom's magical power to survive and becomes both a rival and ally to Haruto.

Honestly, this kamen rider series is better then most of the Kamen rider series (except w of course.)
Honestly, I did not really like the part where the main character transforms. It looks kind of lame. I also did not really liked how they sticked to the classics and always make them wear a belt. The belt seriously looks quite dumb, especially for the best wizard. I thought that they should have make use of the name Wizard, and change the belt to something less showy, like a bracelet or something. What I hated most about this show was the fact that they did not show us the more powerful phantoms in the show from the starting. They should have told us which phantoms where the powerful ones, like what they did for phoenix and medusa, they had the arm bracelet (which looked totally a lot cooler then the Kamen rider belt.) I also do not like how they need to use the final move to destroy the orges. The Kamen Riders should be able to defeat the orges without the use of much energy or mana. But somehow throughout the show, they always have a random scene in which they are fighting the orges, and it takes up quite a bit of time. In the later episode, I totally did not liked how when the Kamen Rider gets a new power, he always seem to be needing to use the new power on normal phantoms, even though he defeated a super strong phantom with that power and should not be needing to use the new power every single time. I don't like how when some monsters or powers are suppose to be strong, appear weak. Really contradicts the first few parts of the show and really make the show seemed under planned.
The nice thing about this show is probably the story line, and the unique point about this show is probably the fact that each and every case has a story behind it, and I really liked how they did not neglect the enemy side, and have a proper story for the phantoms. The Kamen Riders in the past all seem to not be bothered with the enemy side and just keep them going.
I really cannot wait until the point where they show more about Haruto and Koyomi and her past.
